From 1964 to 1972, one of the few constants of the
conflict and one of the most eagerly anticipated was the yearly visit by
one of America’s most popular comedians... Mr. Bob Hope.
Beginning in WW2 this great entertainer logged millions of miles
flying around the globe with his hand-picked tame of singers, dancers
and musicians to put on shows for the US Military on airfields, aircraft
carriers, army camps, hospitals and dozens of other locations wherever
GIs were stationed.
As the numbers of US Military in South Vietnam grew each year so too did the length of each ‘Christmas Show’ and the venues expand. Here is portrayed the great American comedian as he might have appeared during his 1967/’68 tours.
